Sorry about the frequency of updates. We'll try to do better next season - especially on the "shoulder" seasons. Anyway, skiing is pretty much done for the season except for the die-hards who are willing to hike up to 3,000 feet on Marcy or Wright Peak. As for hiking in general, expect to still find significant snow from 3,000 feet up. On popular trails there may be a supportive snow "spine", but that is not guaranteed, so snowshoes should still be carried on any higher elevation trip. No really warm weather in store between now and the coming weekend, so do not expect much change for the next five days.
For relatively snow-free trails to hike, Bald Peak from New Russia starts low and is mostly south-facing. Other early season possibilities include The Brothers or Rooster Comb. Porter from the Garden is mostly south-facing, and it will be mostly bare as far as Little Porter, but there will likely be snow for the last 1/2 mile along the ridge.
